hmm. well, she has had a bit of problems lately. The press has made her out to be a huge money borrower, she just bought a new house, her aunt&#39;s complaining to the press about her father...
and she&#39;s watching something..
So, if she&#39;s a bit distracted, it&#39;d be understandable. I seriously doubt she&#39;s pregnant again.

Princess Martha Louise and her friend Marianne Ulrichsen arrive to the office of the Norway state television, NRK, January 15, 2003. The Princess and her friend
answered questions concerning horse sports at the NRK Internet site.

Thanks very much Mandy for the latest pictures of Martha Louise and her family. Maud Angelica is adorable in her pink hat -- especially in the second picture from the above set where Ari is wearing it instead!

Princess Märtha Louise of Norway with the horse Justus during the taping of her tv-show "Horse Life" in Sorkedalen, Norway, January 27, 2005. The content of the first episode will be about telepathic communication between man and horses. The Princess is getting telephatically analysed by a retired riding school horse named Justus.

Princess Märtha Louise meets both Olympic and Paraolympic equestrians who have special bonds with their horses. In the next episode of "Horselife", we will also see how they and their horse get to know and understand each other better.

Olympic winner Pippa Funnel and her horse, Supreme Rock, are currently the best in the world. To be a master like Pippa, she and her horse have to be as one when it comes to communication. Princess Märtha Louise meets with Pippa to find out how she and her horse communicate so closely and well together as if through a language that they both know.

In England, the Princess meets British rider Lee Pearson. He has won 3 gold medals in the Paraolympics and shows us an incredible example of how a horse can listen and learn to be absolutely independent of a rider´s physical strength.

-It is amazing to see how much control Lee almost has over this heavy animal says Princess Märtha Louise.

"Riding Blindly"

Princess Märtha Louise gets a special challenge when she meets Norwegian rider Anne Cecilie Ore and her horse Happy. Anne Cecilie is completely blind but along with Happy she competes at a high level in Dressage(For the neophyte, that´s where they basically go slow and look like they are almost hopping and without jumping over any fences or puddles or whatever. It´s all about style and elegance) for the Norwegian national team in the ParaOlympics. It(dressage) dates back to a time when it was absolutely critical for a rider to do well when they were in a crowd together and how to operate in such a manner as in dressage(Short steps and such things. Be rather dainty in a way. Just very precise. Not long striding steps)

Happy is a fullblood horse and even an experienced rider will have trouble with Happy but the Princess(clap clap) tries to ride Happy but with a bandage over her eyes.

See how Princess Märtha Louise does in her challenge in the last episode of Horselife on Sunday on TV2 at 20:00.(that was easy).

Princess Märtha Louise meets Olympic Winner Pippa Funnel, who among other things, demonstrates how to communicate with a horse through a collective language.(I´m thinking English in the case of Pippa).

Special note about Pippa that I remember(of course) from the Olympics in Greece. Apparently, Pippa sounds a little too close to a dirty word in Greek so the announcers called her by her full name which is Philippa which is also ironic as well).

How interested is Ari in horses? I've always figured that that was Märtha Louise's deal, but Ari and Maud Angelica attending without her? (Though, it looks like Maud Angelica is the interested one of the two in the pictures here...)

it would be great i get to see more pictures of this event. Is Matha-louise into horses & horse riding? It seems like it because she has been to one official riding event & im assuming this was a private visit

Märtha-louise has been on a private riding-school when she was younger.
She took place in several show-jumping competitions.
I think she stopped when she became pregnant with Maud Angelica.
